Praphecy As my history students wildly left the room after the last bell, I looked up and saw I had a visitor, Curtis Gaulden. It was our first day of teaching in the same school. I asked him how Barbara and the children were. Fine, he replied, except her work is just too dangerous. She's a policewoman you know. All this led to our planning a class reunion, The day finally arrived. Jean Conner and her husband, Jimmy Chaney, were the first to arrive. Jean is now head Laboratory Technician at Anne Penn Memorial Hospi- tal in Reidsville. Then all of them began to arrive. As I milled through the crowd I learned quite a few things about my former classmates. Anne Williams operates the Glamour Beauty Salon in N. Y.: seems as if several of our girls are in the beauty business. Shirley Roberts and Frances Odell are co-owners and operators of the most expensive Beauty Shop in town. There are two darling children over in the corner. I wonder who they are? Here come their parents. Why, it's Bennie Trent and Nancy Strader. From all reports of his Crusades, Bennie has become an outstanding evangelist. It looks as if we're having a Secretary's convention. I've found four already: Betty Carter, who is now Betty Hubbard, Mary Sue Crowder, a medical secretary for Pleas McMichael, the new dentist in town, and finally Hilda Carter and Nancy Arthur, who are private secretaries for a large insurance firm. Well, here's something different. Jean Haskins is an Airline Hostess, Isn't fate strange, Jean's last flight was piloted by Wayne Clifton. Wayne always did want to travel. I wonder if he knew it would be as a pilot on a commercial air line. We really do have some outstanding graduates. John Jarrell especially. He is now a government scientist, He's working on something top -secret, so that's all I know about him. Jimmy Jones is the chief engineer in the Chrysler Corporation. His love of the Plymouth Fury really paid off. Paul Doss and Ervin Roberts have made a name for themselves. Paul is Vice President of Fieldcrest Mills and Ervin is head of the Laboratory department at Du Pont. Brenda Roberts is operating an exclusive Interior Decorating Establishment. I hear she's pretty good, too. Lucy Thomas' good math grades in High School have really paid off, She is head mathematician for the Atomic Energy plant at Oak Ridge. Quite a few of our boys have made a career of military service. Preston Cox is a jet pilot, Freddie Brim is the General at the U,S, Air Force Cadet School, and William Earles, who is a tough Marine stationed at Paris Island. With him is Roger Lemons. Buddy Delancey is in the Armyg Wayne Barber and Rodney O'Dell are in the Air Force, Here come two late ones. It's Larry Woods and Nelson Gunn. I guess they've been on a case and were delayed, They're two of Rockingham County's best Highway Patrol- men, Who is that family beside the piano? Why, it's Joanne Belton Williams and one, no two, my goodness she and Bobby have three children. We only have one farmer, That's Freddie Caudle, Three of our girls are farmer's wives, though. They are Sarah Harvey, Doris Jessie and Louise Rakestraw. This wonderful day has come to an end. We 're all wondering what next year will bring to the Wentworth High School Class of '58, Coralie Moran x , rf '. ,ALJEV 3 L fy tl J l ' 'if 1 if I I fi J Jqiwiggg X-'ix' A b
